Chapter 17: A kiss and then some

Author note: Last chapter I wrote while listening to Eminem music and this one I wrote listening to depressing Final Fantasy 10 music so if there's a big change in mood you now know why.

(This all happens day after last chapter)

"Dance?" asked Inuyasha trying his hardest to say the strange word right.

"Yup and not just any dance the Valentines Day dance." Said Kagome cheerfully.

Inuyasha just looked at her dumbfounded. "Why should I go with you to this 'dance' and what is it?" asked Inuyasha.

"Well you see a dance is where a boy and a girl get all dressed up and they go to hang out with there friends and talk to each other and most importantly: dance." Said Kagome.

Inuyasha looked confused so Kagome decided to show him what dancing was. She got out her CD and put it in the CD player. She made sure to turn down the volume so that it wouldn't hurt his sensitive ears.

A typical boy band started playing and Kagome said "Slow dancing is easy and since that's probably the only kind of dances we'll be doing anyway, this is the only one I have to teach you."

Kagome moved in closer to Inuyasha and said "Alright first you place your left hand on my shoulder and our other hands go together like this" said Kagome putting their hands in the correct position.

Inuyasha blushed as he noticed how close they were. 'Does she expect us to do this for hours?'

"And once your in position you sway." Said Kagome. Inuyasha nodded showing that he understood.

Inuyasha looked down at her. He had the same desire to kiss her as he did at the well. "Kagome…" he said. She closed her eyes as he bent down (she was hoping to have a real foot popping kiss! Sorry had to put something from princess diaries in here)

But unfortunately "Oh Nii-san mom wanted to talk to you." Said Sota as he came bursting through the door. Kagome and Inuyasha quickly broke apart looking embarrassed. 'DAMNT DAMNT DAMNT!' thought Inuyasha. However, he managed to make a forced smile.

He nodded and stepped out of the room. However, Kagome grabbed his sleeve. "Umm our story is you're my deaf cousin ok?" asked Kagome. Inuyasha nodded and went to talk to Kagome's mom.

"You wanted to talk to me about something?" asked Inuyasha.

"Oh yes I wanted to ask you to go out with me to buy you a new outfit for the dance, since you may stand out a bit in your current outfit" replied Kagome's mother. Inuyasha sighed and said sure.

'The things I do for that damn Kagome' thought Inuyasha. He followed Kagome's mother into the family car. Inuyasha was fascinated by the car 'It's like a horse only cooler!' thought Inuyasha. Inuyasha sat in the car in silence as they drove: content with looking out the window and gasping at things like a window display of TVs.

Kagome's mother sat in silence too but then decided to talk to Inuyasha. "I'm glad to see you're enjoying yourself back there" she said smiling at the hanyou. Inuyasha blushed and looked at the floor.

"Are you nervous about the dance?" asked Kagome's mother.

"Maybe a little" confessed Inuyasha.

"Don't worry Kagome will be there to help you. You know you are one of the only man Kagome has ever trusted besides other family members. I'm sure you two will both have fun" said Mrs.Higurashi.

Inuyasha hoped she was right as they walked into the store and finally decided on a nice loose fitting red shirt, a pair of black pants that would match his black hair and a cool pair of DCs.

On the night of the dance Kagome was freaking out. She was frantically putting on makeup (something she rarely did) and ordered Sota to help Inuyasha with his shoes.

Kagome had put on a skirt that was cute but didn't make her look like a slut, a pretty blue tank top, and a pair of blue flip flops that matched her shirt.

Inuyasha said blushing "You look nice Kagome". Kagome started to look up at him and then burst out by mistake "You look so…KAWAIII!" She ran over to him and gave him a hug that was so tight it choked him.

She then grabbed his hand and asked "Shall we go?" Inuyasha nodded and they headed for the dance. When they arrived they saw people of all grades outside the girl's gym (that's where they'd be dancing). Kagome led Inuyasha to the doors where they waited patiently to be let in.

Inuyasha felt awkward standing around all these weirdly dressed people, but he felt ok knowing Kagome was there for him. As soon as they walked in they were spotted by Kagome's friends.

"Oi Kagome!" yelled Kagome's friends. They ran to her and asked "What happened to the violent two timing boy?"

'What have you been telling these people' Inuyasha thought as his eye twitched.

"He couldn't make it, instead I came with my deaf cousin.''

"Man that sucks" said Ayumi shaking her head. "You can dance with Momiji when he's done buying candy"

"That's ok, I'll dance with my cousin…Tidus." Kagome said smiling.

"Suit yourself" said Ayumi coldly under the impression Kagome was snubbing her date.

"Ooh a slow song lets go Kyou!" squealed Yuka dragging off her defenseless date.

"Let's go Inu-I mean Tidus" said Kagome pulling his hand towards the dance floor.

"OK just like we practiced remember?" asked Kagome.

Inuyasha nodded and began to dance. He reminded Kagome of a scene from final fantasy 8 where Squall kept messing up while he was learning to dance. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome who smiled up at him. He knew this was the perfect time. At the end of the dance he drew Kagome into an embrace and kissed her, only this time he didn't make it quick.

He tried to make it clear to her how he felt and she obviously noticed because she kissed him back.

Inuyasha fans around the world: AWWWWW!

Kikyo fans: Whatever…

"Ahem! Mind explaining the kissing of the cousin?" asked Kagome's friends all looking on the edge of worrying for her sanity.

After a rugged explanation that he was her date and she used the cousin thing as a cover up, Inuyasha and Kagome, and all her friends had a great time. Actually they seemed to be one of the few people enjoying themselves.

When Kagome walked in the girls bathroom she found crying girls blocking the stalls. She also saw Momiji singing the song Gabi und Klaus (a typical love song about how love sucks and so doe's life) with two girls she had never seen.

However Kagome and Inuyasha thought nothing there could ruin their happiness. That is until they met Hojo…
